Map: see if house prices have risen or fallen in your part of France

House prices are contributing to France’s fragile housing market recovery, according to the latest market report from Notaires de France.

Although rising flat prices outperformed house prices, the latter showed a modest growth of 0.2% year-on-year.

The market overall is recovering cautiously, with transaction volumes up about 12% year on year by the end of 2025, but still well below pre-2022 levels. 

The information comes from the most recent notaire data, including sales of all non-new build properties in France. 

It is the most accurate data available due to the complete volume of sales included.

It covers full data up to two quarters prior to the publication date – in this instance, up to September 30, 2025. Specifically, it compares the price of non-new build houses between July/September 2024 and July/September 2025.

It also includes preliminary data up to the beginning of 2026, which is used to predict upcoming trends in the market.

Where to buy? Most and least expensive areas by median

• Toulon: €466,900

• Montpellier: €403,100

• Lyon: €400,000

• Marseille/Aix-en-Provence: €400,000

Note that house prices in Paris are included as part of the wider Île-de-France region, they do not show as the most expensive overall.

In addition, some other cities including Rennes and Nice do not have house prices included in the data, due to the relatively small number of houses in these areas compared to flats.

Data for prices in these three cities is included and analysed separately alongside a number of other areas.

In contrast, several areas where median prices were under €200,000 remain, largely in the centre and north of France.

The cheapest cities were: 

• Châteauroux: €130,000

• Troyes: €176,200 

• Limoges: €180,000

• Amiens: €185,000

• Poitiers: €195,000
